Warnock on SCOTUS: No one elected this Court—to decide what kind of remedies we need in this moment. It’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, we have reached the threshold where this issue around race and inclusion is no longer necessary.” That is not the job of the Court.

(Gift Link) "Callais’s immediate effect is that it removes what was... one of the few remaining federal legal checks on gerrymandering: the Voting Rights Act’s provision governing racial gerrymanders." The discrimination won't matter as long as it benefits the party. 🤬 #Pinks

If Republican think we are done fighting for voting rights, fair districts and free and fair elections they are wrong. They have counted us out before only to watch us beat them in court. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

Rep. Pat Ryan asked Hegseth about a report that soldiers were commanded to relocate to the U.S. base in Kuwait a week before the U.S. and Israel launched the war, despite officers knowing that it would be a likely target for retaliatory strikes. Six soldiers were killed there and over 20 wounded.

“You are disparaging me that I don’t care about the passing of our troops,” Hegseth said, becoming angry and insisting that the military did everything possible to protect troops. “That’s disparaging and smearing in every way. Nobody cares more about the fate of our troops,” he said.

Accounts by U.S. soldiers who survived a deadly strike by Iran in Kuwait that contradicted the Pentagon’s narrative are “falsehoods,” Hegseth suggested in a contentious hearing in the House on Wednesday.
